Interested in the Managing Editor position with Tim Ferriss and his motley, mischievous crew of weirdos?

Splendid. Please:

2) Fill out the below form. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you write out answers in a separate doc and then copy and paste them here. Wouldn't want you to lose anything due to Wufoo glitches!

Thank you very much.
